Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Harper and Oliver's beer book is twice good: it is about good--flavorful, zesty, attractive--beer, and it is a good--amusing, informative, lively--book. It covers beer history, how and of what beer is made, the major styles of lagers and ales, the rebirth of American craft brewing, the rise of brewpubs, big brewers' response to craft brewing, and proper beer handling and tasting, and it provides advice on beer and food, annotated lists of outstanding American and European breweries, a little gazetteer of brewpubs and beer bars, some home brew recipes, online and periodical resource lists, and a glossary. Other books are more comprehensive on one or another, even several, of these matters (e.g., there are book-length beer gazetteers), but none treats them all so well at so reasonable a price. Skoal!

The Good Beer Book,
By Leslie Milton (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Good Beer Book (Paperback)
You want a beer book? This is the ONE. This book made me want to drink beer while reading every other book Harper has written! Things I never knew about the subject told in a clever, insightful and always interesting style. I was never a beer lover until I read this - the author opend up a whole new world of drinking pleasure by introducing me to a wide range of really good, and really different brews. This ain't Schlitz! My husband and I are on a mission to check out all the great drinking places he recommends - so far, Harper's right on the money.

This review is from: The Good Beer Book (Paperback)
I am a huge "barleyjuice" lover and this book helped me to further understand the different styles and their origins. I also enjoyed the author's opinions and comments in each section. This made the book more personal and not like a text book. I walked away feeling a whole lot smarter about beer....that was my goal.
